ALBERT FILLY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

PRINTERS RULE-MITERING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 328,017, dated October 13, 1885.

Application filed July 13, 1885.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALBERT FILLY, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Printers Rule-MiteringandBlock-Trimming Machines, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to mitering-machines for printers use, by which machine printers letters or types of the smallest size may be shaved down for the addition of accents, &c., rules and furniture mitered, electro or stereotype plates beveled and squared, and woodcuts or advertising-blocks trimmed square and trued up after sawing, so that they will lock up and work well.

The invention consists in the constructions and combinations of parts hereinafter set forth and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure l is an end elevation of the machine. Fig. 2 is a plan of the plane and table, the rule-rest or guide-bar being broken away. Fig. 3 is an elevation of the clamping side of "the machine. Fig. 4 is a partial section and partial elevation in reverse direction from Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a section of the clamping yoke, cam, and shield. Fig. 6 is an elevation of the yoke. Fig. 7 is a plan, and Fig. 8 an elevation,of the top jaw of the clamp. Fig. 9 is a side elevation of the clamplever. Fig. 10 is an underside view of guide bar and catch.

A indicates the base and support of the planetable B. The base A consists of a web having two perpendicular standards, a a, terminating in bases of a. These bases may be screwed or bolted to a supporting-table. The space between the standards permits a grasp of the web by the left hand between said standards.

The plane-table B rests on top of base A, and is integral therewith. The form of table Bis rectangular, flat on top, and forms a sliding support for the metallic plane-stock O, which stock has a side flange, 0, extending down alongside the plane-table to guide the plane-stock in a line parallel with the edge of said table.

The plane-stock 0 consists of a flat base and an upturned flange, G, the face of flange 0 Serial No. 171,469.

being outside of and parallel with the edge of table B, and having a slot, 0 through said flange. An oblique rib, 0, projects upward from the top of the plane-stock just in rear of mortise c, and a boss, 0, a little in front of said rib and ata similar angle with reference to the plane-stock, serves as a bearing for a clutch-screw, e.

The plane-bit D has a groove, d, in its front face, which groove receives the point of the clutch-screw e, the clutch-screw thus serving to secure the plane-bit firmly against the rib c, and also down upon the floor of the plane. The beveled front end of the bit passes through slot 0 in the plane-stock, and may be set forward by the set-screw e, which works through the end boss of rib c".

The plane-stock is beveled at its front lower edge, 0, so as to bring the edge of the planebit which projects through the mortise c on a level with the upper edge of the beveled portion. A sector-plate, F, is secured to the web A, and rises above the plane-stock on a line parallel with the edge of the bit and the turnedup flange of the plane-stock. This plate F has a curved slot, f, near its outer edge and a number of notches.f ,in the curved edge on the far sidethat is, the side away from the cutting-edge of the plane-bit and shifting-place of the lever-clamp.

A guide-bar, G, is secured to the sector-plate F by a set-screw, f, the front end of said guide bar being on a line with and just below the lower edge of the plane-bit. This guide-bar has an up-turned flange, g, and a pivoted spring-catch, h, beneath this flange engages with notches f 2 in the sector-plate, so that the guide-bar G may be turned to almost any angle of a half-circle and secured by the catch h entering one of these notches, as well as by the set-screwf, independent of the catch, at any angle whatever.

A yoke, I, has a pintle, z, extending from its upper end,on which a cam-lever, K, is pivoted. The lower arm, i, of yoke Ihasa dovetail projection, 6 which enters a dovetail groove, 9, in bottom of guide-bar G. The yoke I has a slot, i under the pintle z.

A jaw, M, triangular in side elevation, and having a groove, m, in its upper face and inturned projections n n extending over said groove,has also a side projection,n, which enters the slot in yoke I. The cam-lever K has a curved slot," 70, in its side faces, into which slots the projections n n extend. By this engagement of the cam-lever with the jaw M the 5 jaw may be raised by the raising of the lever and the consequent turning of the cam about its pivot, and by lowering the lever it will be forced down by the cam-surface 7t bearing on the upper surface of the jaw M. The projection n entering slot i prevents the jaw from moving forward toward the plane, and the dovetail mortise 9 not permitting the yoke to move toofar forward, yoke I may be drawn back along the guide-bar as far as needful or entirely removed.

The projection n on jaw M is triangular, so' that jaw M may be raised somewhat out of parallelism with guidebar G,which forms thei lower'jaw of the clamp, and thus clamp a single letter firmly with the extreme end A side rest, 0, on the plane-bed permits the placing of plates, wood-cuts, advertising or. stereotype blocks in position parallel with the path-of the plane, one end of said blocks resting on guide-bar G. Best '0 may be integral with the plane-table or affixed thereto.

The plane-bit is slightly wider than the x height ofthe type, so as to act on the whole edge f of a'stereotype-block or wood-cut.

In mitering a rule the rule is placed flat on 2 the guide-bar G, the jaw M is brought down; upon the same by means of lever K, and the. guide-bar G having been placed at the requi- I site angle the end of the rule is planed oil by a reciprocating the plane on its table, the left plane-stock permits the end vof the guide-bar -plane-bed, of the plane-stock having a down wardly-projecting flange, c, oblique bosses 0 c and the plane-bit held in position by setscrews passing through said bosses.

2. The combination, with the bed and sector-plate, of the guide-bar G,having a dovetail groove in its lower face, the yoke I, having a tongue which enters said dovetail-groove, the camlever K, pivoted to the upper end of the yoke, and the jaw M between the camlever and rest, substantially as'described.

3. The combination, with the. bed and sector-plate, of the guide-bar G, theyoke I,dovetailed thereto, the cam-lever K,pivoted on said yoke, and the jaw M, having projections a n T entering grooves in the sides of the cam-lever,

all substantially as described.

4.. In combination-with the plane-bed and a sliding plane thereon, the sector-plate and the guide-bar G,att-ached thereto, the rest O,projecting from the plane-bed at the same side as the sector-plate but a little distance therefrom, substantially as described.

5. In combination'with the plane-bed and adjustable guide'bar G,the plane body having its lower edge cut away, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ALBERT FILLY.
